Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iDhammapada at 100% against iAntiTheft's 65%. iDhammapada also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). iAntiTheft's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iAntiTheft holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iAntiTheft has 1.2K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iDhammapada's written reviews are positive against 65% of iAntiTheft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iDhammapada ships an update every 15 months, iAntiTheft every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
